At ILeka School of Applied Learning, our KALPA GAT Program is thoughtfully designed for curious young minds aged 3 to 6. We nurture creativity, communication, and confidence through hands-on, play-based learning that lays a strong foundation for lifelong growth.
Children explore language, math, science, art, and movement through engaging activities that promote discovery and joyful learning. Our experienced educators create a safe, stimulating environment where every child feels valued, encouraged, and ready to express themselves.
With a perfect blend of structure and freedom, iLeka’s KALPA GAT program helps your child build essential skills in a natural and nurturing way—preparing them not just for school, but for life.
Curriculum
Bhasha
Children aged 0–6 have the natural ability to learn 8–10 languages simultaneously, due to high linguistic intelligence at this stage.
Language acquisition is a natural and primary skill that the human brain is wired for during early childhood.
iLeka’s program aims to maximize this natural ability by exposing children to multiple languages early on.
- English
- Hindi
- Marathi
- French
- Sanskrit
Language sessions are divided into:
Conversation – 75% (focus on verbal communication)
Reading – 20%
Writing – 5%
Knowing multiple languages broadens a child’s perspective, contributing to intellectual growth and cultural awareness.
The number of languages known = number of perspectives gained, enriching cognitive flexibility and social understanding.
This approach is especially effective during the early years (0–6), when brain development is at its peak and learning is most natural.
Science
At iLeka, we believe young children are natural scientists—curious, observant, and eager to explore the world around them. In the early years, we tap into this natural curiosity to build the foundation of scientific thinking through play, observation, and hands-on activities.
Children are encouraged to ask questions like “Why does this float?” or “What happens if I mix this?”—and then find answers through guided exploration. From watching plants grow to experimenting with water, light, and simple materials, they begin to notice patterns and cause-effect relationships.
By experiencing science in everyday life, children develop early concepts in a joyful and meaningful way. These playful encounters help them build confidence, language, and a love for learning that will support deeper scientific thinking as they grow.
EVS
Focus on building a connection with nature through daily interactions.
Use nature walks, garden activities, and outdoor play to spark curiosity.
Encourage observation of plants, animals, weather, and seasons.
Introduce simple environmental concepts through stories, songs, and discussions.
Promote care and responsibility (e.g., watering plants, not wasting water).
Use hands-on experiences to help children relate to the environment meaningfully.
Foster sensory exploration—touching soil, smelling flowers, hearing birds.
Emphasize kindness to nature and basic sustainability in simple ways (like using reusable items).
Create projects like “My Plant Diary” or “Seasons Chart” to deepen understanding.
Lay the foundation for environmental awareness and empathy at an early age.
Reading
Reading is the way you can come across variety of experiences accumulated by the others which may give you important inputs while taking important decisions. Every successful individual in these days owes a lot to the multi-dimensional reading for the success he/she achieves.
Even though it looks pretty simple, there is a lot of skill involved into it. We work on those skills starting from being able to read till speed reading so that they can excel on the basis of that This is the first extension of Śailī which is one of the basic skills a modern human must possess for a successful life.
Writing
This is another skill which is multi-faceted and really important in many ways. Being able to write exams is an extremely miniscule sized stuff we get out of it. Writing has so wonderful impact on the personal life for which we are really pumped up to pursue this skill and exercise it thoroughly.
In this one, we start with a couple of sentences a day and go till being able to write so many pages in one sitting. In this other extension of Śailī, we get lot of clarity in one’s thought process as everyone has to think and verify the thoughts differently while writing.
FOLK TALES
Every human being likes to listen stories. Stories have immense capacity to convey messages and values. As Einstein said, if you want to make a kid intelligent, tell him as many fairy tales as you can. Because intelligence is nothing but the capacity of human mind to imagine.
In this two-fold activity, we narrate various folk tales to the kids. Folk tales have huge cultural diversification. They also carry experiences of so many generations in capsule form. All this is being delivered to the kids in detail. Then we also weave our own stories regularly.
Kids know so many stories and also learn the art of weaving stories and articulate their imaginations. They get immense joy with this and also receive so many cultural inputs from all over. It is making them more open for the others.
Shloka Pathan
Learning by heart has great importance in Indian traditions. When we learn various shlokas and suktas by heart, it laden our system with so many references in ready to use form. It also makes us more capable of imbibing various good pieces of values and thoughts as well.
We learn not only Sanskrit but also Marathi and Hindi shlokas by heart and kids do that in joyful way. Various Sanskrit shlokas, chapters of Bhagwat Geeta and several suktas from Vedic literature is selected carefully along with Marathi shlokas from Kekavali and so many Hindi Dohas.
Kids feel so energetic after learning shlokas. The process of this is also very subtle and they are at ease. It makes them learn so much without the actual burden of learning. It is as good as the process we follow to learn so many filmy songs.
Yoga Sastra
Whatever you want to achieve in your life on personal, family, social and national level, the very first step towards it is fitness. Fitness of various levels such as physical, mental, emotional, intellectual and spiritual enables one to optimise the capabilities. It ultimately translates into greater achievements on various levels of your life.
All these aspects are already considered in the wonderful paradigm of Yogaṡᾱstra by our great forefathers. The most popular stuff of it in these days is various postures (Yogᾱsanᾱs) but it is only one of the eight aspects of the whole. We discuss and do activities to make everyone benefit on all the levels of life.
Extra Curriculum
Field Trips
Real connection is the missing piece of the puzzle called conventional schooling system. Lack of this makes the education theoretical and dead. More you become aware of life with all its dimensions, more it will be relevant for you. Education and its practical application goes hand in hand if you got it practically in the first place.
In this light, we plan various visits to many kind of places. The wide spectrum of it includes everything from farms to manufacturing units. We have pre and post discussions to get the maximum absorption out of it. We also take down observations in the visit. It opens up so many aspects to discuss further.
Kids get exposure of all the social needs along with its contemporary practices and provides pointers to refer in future.
Art And Craft
There is only one joy in human life which not only makes the moment memorable but also adds peace and satisfaction in one’s life and that is creation. One of our basic activities, Art & Craft, starts from very young age and we pursue it in all the age groups.
We work with kids in two ways here, one off kind of stuff and thematic ideas. First is one or two session activity whereas the other needs more than a month’s collective effort to get developed. We also use waste material in this form to have “best from waste” experience.
All the kids and their parents have enjoyed this activity as it is very simple and enabling everyone to look at the waste stuff differently.
Origami
We all have experienced the joy of making things with our hands. The most easily doable art of create wonderful stuff in short time is paper folding. Kids in young age don’t have patience to create beautiful things out of solid forms. So, Origami has gained enormous popularity.
In this little bit of advanced version of art and craft, we create animals, objects and many more things with kids by folding papers.
Participants enjoy origami as it enables them in making and innovating my things. Here they also become capable of imagining in all the three dimensions.
Carpentry
Wood is one of the natural elements involved in the human life since so long. Handling it provides wonderful scope for creativity in the early age.
In this hands-on activity, we create various designs in wooden toys as well as furniture items. Lot of wooden toys and utility items being created with kids.
It paves new thoughts and ideas in creative way. Also, it completes the circle of life experience as we create something with our hands in today’s knowledge dominated educational field.
Pottery
Soil is one of the natural elements involved in the human life since so long. Handling it provides wonderful scope for creativity in the early age.
In this hands-on activity, we create various models in clay toys as well as clay art. Lot of clay toys and decorative items being created with kids.
It paves new thoughts and ideas in creative way. Also, it completes the circle of life experience as we create something with our hands in today’s knowledge dominated educational field.
Carving
This is a thing human race started to do in very early stage of evolution. We used to make weapons with this skill. Carving various materials gives us an eye-sight of visualising inherent things.
We have couple of mediums for this. Wood, siporex as well as wax is being used to carve things out.
Many of the time we have parents also taking part and making something interesting. It gives lot of joy and happiness to every individual participating in this.
Workshops
It’s impossible to have all the experiences under one roof in an organisation. We prioritise few of those and set them up. But we should have glimpses of remaining things in a while to make the atmosphere dynamic and versatile.
Under this title, we invite artists and other professionals of various art forms and skills to experience what they have. These workshops are from one-off session to multiple sessions depending on the nature of it and of course the interest people have in it.
Kids are exposed to various other arts and practices. It gives them awareness, joy, excitement and what not!
Festivals
Social being and cultural flavour is always been extracted in the form of festivals. Every culture has its own set of it. Also, it is ecologically controlled thing. So, we need to be mindful and flexible with them to keep them relevant as cultural references keep changing with time.
With this in mind, we celebrate all the major festivals of our culture and participate in them out in the society.
With this practice, kids become more social, more inclusive and become ecologically aware about the life style they have.
